Nursery Rhymes.

“Every Jack has got his Jill (i.e. Ilka laddie has his

Gill

(Harry). A farmer struck with the curse of ever shivering
with cold, because he would not allow old Goody Blake to keep a few
stray sticks which she had picked up to warm herself by.

Oh! what's the matter? what's the matter?
What is't that ails young Harry Gill,
That evermore his teeth they chatter,
Chatter, chatter, chatter, still? ...
No word to any man he utters,
A-bed or up, to young or old;
But ever to himself he mutters -
Poor Harry Gill is very cold.
